Let’s just be upfront and honest about this: there is a time and place for everything. In an impromptu interview via email this past weekend, Steve Jobs found himself on the defense about innovation, revolution and yes you guessed it… Porn. There has been a heated debate about this every since Apple decided that the App store would be “Porn Free” which basically means child friendly.

I don’t understand this debate about Apple denying porn producers/companies the right to be in the App Store. The App Store is a family friendly retail environment just like Wal Mart or Target. The chances that kids will see explicit content there are almost promised and quite honestly, there’s no need for a 7 year old to be looking at hardcore pornography.

I’ve often complained about America’s puritanical stance against nudity and sexuality but we must understand that there is a clear difference between nudity/sexuality and pornography. I won’t go through the obvious differences because I know anyone reading this already knows.

But as far as pornography goes, have we really become so addicted to pornography that it needs to be on every single one of our electronic devices? Some of my producer friends would probably kick me in the face for saying that because the new world of pornography is the connection across platforms but… do I really need cock on my iPhone? And honestly, it’s not even the same looking at pornography on a small device like the iPhone, it’s actually kind of annoying. YES, I’ve glimpsed at porn on my phone before and attempted to jerk off, it’s a horrible experience.

But never mind that, what are your thoughts? Should Steve Jobs open the App Store to pornography? Or is he correct in blocking content (which is his right) from an online retail location where he is well aware children are shopping?
